Abstract:
The Egyptian nanotechnology market is high risk, but is only matched by its business opportunities, Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb, chairman of SabryCorp, told Daily News Egypt in an interview.

Seeing Egypt lag behind in the nanotechnology race, Abdel-Mottaleb saw an opportunity to bring it up to speed, he explained.

Nanotechnology struck the entrepreneur as fascinating back in 1997, when he was busy completing a PhD degree. At the time, his advisor introduced him to nanoscience, a field still very much in its infancy, but one with unprecedented ramifications for altering science for generations to come.
